Workshop event: What are ‘critical geographies of disasters’?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a01-day workshop<\/b>\u00a0invites debate and discussion about what ‘Critical Geographies of Disasters’ look like now and in the future. We aim to deconstruct the meaning and boundaries of ‘critical’ lenses in this context, and the significance of ‘transformation’ as a central theme in critical disasters research.\u00a0<\/span>The workshop is open to academics, PhDs and research staff undertaking work connected to the workshop themes, either in Geography or affiliated fields. Spaces are\u00a0limited to 25 participants and there are a few spots remaining –\u00a0<\/span>to apply, please complete the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>form here<\/span><\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The workshop will be held on-campus, 10am to 5pm. Registration is free and includes lunch and refreshments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Network launch drinks reception: registration required<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Directly following the workshop on 27\u00a0June, we are hosting a\u00a0drinks reception<\/b>\u00a0to celebrate the launch of the ‘Critical Geographies of Disasters’ research network. The aim of the network is to bring together and foster collaboration between researchers engaging diverse, critical, creative and novel theoretical approaches to disasters and climate research. The event will be held from 5-7pm in the Sorby Room (Wager Building), and is open to all DSA delegates, GDRD staff and PGT\/PGR students. Please do share the details to anyone you think may be interested!
